Friedrich Wilhelm Backhaus: A Rare Manufacturer from Solingen

The Friedrich Wilhelm Backhaus, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded in 1827 in Solingen. The company specialized in steel goods production and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly SA service daggers. In 1935, it received the RZM code M7/44, assigned for the production of political daggers. The location in Solingen underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 10,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 4/5 as highly rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include Hitler Jugend, NSKK, and SS items.

The logo of Friedrich Wilhelm Backhaus consists of the text "FRIEDRICH WILHELM BACKHAUS SOLINGEN" in uppercase letters, in a simple font. It is in dark gray on a transparent background and acts as a text-based trademark emphasizing the origin and quality.

Today, the products of Friedrich Wilhelm Backhaus are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on blank weapons manufacturers.
